What does normal even mean...and why does it seem so fake?

Let me tell you...

31 tales of normal things gone wrong. Everything from coffee to gift cards to having friends over. 31 innocuous, even delightful things that are supposed to be able to replace happiness, job satisfaction, and a sense of purpose. 31 atmospheric tales about good things gone wrong--horribly, weirdly wrong.

When the world has gone completely nuts, even the normal looks strange.
